Samsung S10 deals: get the best price on a new Galaxy S10

[Rss Bot 1]

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is one of the most hotly anticipated smartphone releases this year, and we're now just days away from seeing Samsung's new flagship handset hit the shelves.

Set to launch on Wednesday 20 February, speculation surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S10 will come to an end as the new device is unveiled at 'Galaxy Unpacked' media events in London and San Francisco. 

While no-one apart from the South Korean tech giant really knows anything solid about the new device, if you've already decided the new S10 is going to be the best camera phone for you in 2019, preorders are available in the US via the Samsung website. In fact, the company is offering an early Samsung S10 deal: reserve a handset today and save up to $550 when you trade in an eligible device. 

Galaxy S10 preorders for anyone outside of the US have yet to be confirmed, but they're expected to open up to UK consumers on Thursday 21 February. 

So what exactly do we know about Samsung's latest flagship smartphone? What does it look like, what features will most benefit artists and designers, and where can you find the best price? Here's everything we know about the new device, plus where to find the best Samsung Galaxy S10 deals.

Where to find the best Samsung Galaxy S10 deals

The cheapest way to purchase a new handset is normally to buy the device outright – but the price of the S10 will be steep: this is Samsung's latest flagship model, after all. If that isn't an option, you're likely to be looking at a two-year contract. So where will you get the best Samsung Galaxy S10 deal?

According to our sister site TechRadar, O2 may come up trumps in the UK with the most competitive offers. However, it's also worth keeping an eye on EE and Vodafone, Techradar predicts: "EE was the network with some of the most attractive tariffs when the S9 was launched in March 2018 and the same with the Note 9, but we're expecting O2 to come out on top when the new handset is released. O2 has been really competitive recently for smaller data deals and especially on flagship Android devices. Vodafone also stands a good chance of throwing in some great offers but we've placed our bets with O2 for now."

Here's what TechRadar thinks an O2 deal might look like:

We're expecting to see three shiny new versions of the Samsung Galaxy S10 – a standard model, a smaller S10 Lite and inevitably a S10 Plus model sporting the largest screen of them all. The display is rumoured to be super-crisp, boasting a resolution of 1440 x 3040 and a 19:9 aspect ratio, with hardly anything in the way of bezels eating in to it – perfect for seeing art and design work in all its glory. 

Samsung Galaxy S10: key features for creatives

When it comes to the best smartphones for creatives, there are many considerations, but two of the most important are power and camera capabilities. So is the Samsung Galaxy S10 likely to have everything you need when it comes to both? The short answer is yes. 

The camera quality looks like it won't disappoint, with the standard model rumoured to have a dual-lens camera and the Plus packing a triple lens, with a 12MP wide-angle f/1.5-f/2.4 lens, a 16MP super wide-angle f/1.9 lens and a 13MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture. Add all that together and you've got some serious photographic power in your pocket. 

And Samsung hasn't forgotten about the front-facing camera either, by all accounts, with the Lite model rumoured to be a single-lens model, and the standard and Plus versions with a pair of cameras. There's also been whisperings of a 3D sensor for augmented reality content.

Portable powerhouse

Dependent on where you are in the world, the device's processor itself is almost certainly going to be a Snapdragon 855 chipset, which right now, with 5G support, with theoretical download speeds of up to 2Gbps and a chip solely dedicated to processing videos and photos, is the mobile chipset to beat. 

Outside the of the US, the S10 is expected to feature Samsung's eight-core Exynos 9820 chipset, which is just as impressive, providing support for 8K video recording, a dedicated neural processing unit to deal with AI-related tasks laser fast and 40% better power efficiency over the previous generation. In terms of memory, the S10 is expected to feature eight, possibly even 12GB of RAM and a bucket-load of onboard storage, making it ridiculously quick.
